Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Serious Heart. Enjoy!

Hi there, everyone! It’s Serious Heart with the next chapter of The Chronicles of Friendly Thunder. You can catch up on the last chapter here, or start from the beginning here. Now, let’s get started!

TIMMY FAILURE (continuing to brag):
That kind of advanced detective technique is why I was able to solve this case in the first place, totally unassisted.

NARRATOR:
In the background, Icy Snake is making a disgusted face at the polar bear eating trash.

FRIENDLY THUNDER (automatically):
Wait just one minute. You didn’t solve this case by yourself.

DIZZY CLAW (confused):
He didn’t?

TIMMY FAILURE (arrogantly):
Of course I did! I’m the greatest detective alive. My case notes prove it.

FRIENDLY THUNDER (speaking so automatically, he’s confusing himself):
That’s not how I remember it. Not how I remember it at all…

NARRATOR:
Suddenly, the dream guardian from the prologue, so long ago, I almost forgot him, comes out of nowhere — but only the trio can see him!

DREAM GUARDIAN (apologetically):
Sorry. I have to do this.

NARRATOR:
Quickly, he transports the trio back to shortly before the events they are seeing now, happened!

ICY SNAKE (dazed):
Where are we…?

NARRATOR:
The trio stumble over to the left — to encounter Timmy Failure himself!

TIMMY FAILURE:
You three there! Newcomers! Step lightly. There are evil doings afoot!

DIZZY CLAW (remembering Dr. Hare and hilariously comparing it to him):
Such as?

TIMMY FAILURE:
Someone stole my pants!

ICY SNAKE:
We’ll… be careful, I guess.

TIMMY FAILURE:
You three’ll need to be more than that. Since you three are new around here, you’re the only people I can trust. Will you help me collar the criminal?

FRIENDLY THUNDER:
Far be it from us to stand idly by while a pants thief terrorizes this fair city.

DIZZY CLAW (chirping up):
Plus, we once stopped a villainous pink bunny that wanted to take over the world! You can trust us!

TIMMY FAILURE:
Great. We’ll have to split up, but I’ll leave pages from my detective log around to help you out… To start with, you may want to investigate my former business partner. (dramatically) His loyalty is in question.

FADE OUT.

And — let’s wrap this chapter up! Will Timmy Failure find his pants, with help from Friendly Thunder and company? Who is the mysterious Dream Guardian? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 19: Cheese and Crackers

March 21, 2024March 21, 2024 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Howdy! I have randomly appeared yet again with another episode in: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

Alrighty, if you’re new here and wanna start from the beginning, reach the very first episode here. But if you just need to catch the last one, you can read the previous one here!

As I planned for this story to have around 20 episodes, we’re nearing its end. I’d advise you to sit back and enjoy this while you can! Maybe get some snacks— not a blueberry smoothie, of course! XD

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Nineteen: Cheese and Crackers

Toothpick was at a desk, sorting files. The monotonous task of it seemed even more so with his almost robot-like movements.

He was in a large room with white walls, bright lights, and a small field of desks. Nearly every desk had some sort of half-zombied workers doing something, whether it was typing away at a keyboard, keeping an eye on the live recording of survivors, or some other form of service to Mr. Gambit’s (formerly known as Samuel Brains, in case you missed that episode) Zomberry empire.

They were all as busy as bees.

Worker 1

Finished scanning files A-C! Will now scan files D-G!

Worker 2

Halfway through the task!

Well, they were all as busy as mind-controlled and half-zombied bees.

The files that Toothpick was sorting were all sorts of random documents and folders, one with statistics, one about finance, one about the locations picked to plant the blueberry smoothie machines. Each one was pretty interesting and/or out of date.

But this boring, seemingly uninteresting situation is about to get a little more compelling.

The double-doors banged open. The few workers who glanced up saw Agent Thorn (aka Anita) walking briskly through a row of desks.

She walked past the desks near a small table in the back, where she stopped and turned around. No one was looking at what she was doing. Good.

Fanfic: Seven Systems 🪐 Part 3: The Eye of the Storm

March 19, 2024 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by HeartOfEnder. Enjoy!

Welcome to Part 3 of Seven Systems! (Read Part 1 here, and Part 2 here.) Now that we have the basic background of the story explained, it’s time for the action.

As a bit of recap, the Red Queen has conquered the seven systems, captured the Astro Knights, and is searching for the fourth Astro Knight. Rumor has it the Baron has started a secret resistance, and Tempest forms an alliance she doesn’t want to make with Rumpel, of all people, to find the Baron and… hopefully save the seven systems.

THE SEVEN SYSTEMS
Part Three: The Eye of the Storm
(Continued from Part 2)

The Baron-less airship soars through the skies of Poptropica for days and weeks, passing through various islands that haven’t seen travelers and adventurers in years. There are islands of all kinds, from ones inhabited by 8-bit people, ones made out of cogs and copper, and ones covered in snow.

After weeks of traveling, the airship docks on Astro-Knights Island, where knights in black patrol the kingdom of Arturus.

RUMPEL, disguised as a normal Poptropican, looks outside.

RUMPEL:

Oooh, that queen must really want this fourth knight if she has so many of her knights stationed out here.

My Place in Poptropica: Golden Feather

March 17, 2024 Slanted Fish

This is a guest post from Golden Feather sharing their My Place in Poptropica story, which is all about one’s Poptropica journey. Enjoy!

Hi, I’m Golden Feather, and this is My Place In Poptropica.

I first started playing Poptropica around 2017, when I was 6 or 7. I saw it in an ad, and so I decided to try it out. I figured out a lot of the islands, but I could never figure out Red Dragon Island (based on Magic Tree House). I really liked Spy Island, and this was back when you could customize off NPCs, so I had a lot of fun with that.

Fish Out of Water: The pond outside this hut isn’t finished yet.

I actually still have access to my first account, where my name was Icy Shell. (I was a sucker for mysterious names.)

Around 2020, my account stopped working, so I had to make my current one. So now I am Golden Feather.

Poptropica was a big part of my childhood, and I am so glad I decided to click on that Poptropica ad that fateful day in 2017 (or maybe it was 2016?). I even got my lil bro into Poptropica now!

I always dreamed of winning the costume contest, and being rich in credits. I have achieved the credit dream, but not the costume one… yet.

World Warriors: Welcome back to the stage of history.

Thank you for reading.

Your favorite neighborhood psycho,
-Golden Feather

My Place in Poptropica: Fearless Goose

March 13, 2024March 13, 2024 Slanted Fish

This is a guest post from Fearless Goose sharing their My Place in Poptropica story, which is all about one’s Poptropica journey. Enjoy!

Hi guys, I’m Fearless Goose and this is my first ever blog post.

2019 | A blue book

It was a normal day in 2019 during school when I saw a blue book titled Poptropica: The Official Guide. When I got home, the first thing I did was check out Poptropica. I was 7 at the time, so I don’t remember the account name sadly.

I was so excited to play, and the first map I played was Mission Atlantis, Episode 1. But being so young, after facing the first challenge, I ragequit for a month.

Hot Seat: This outfit will go straight to the dome.

2020 | Take two

The second time I played Poptropica was around 2020, a few months before Flash was discontinued at the end of the year. I played a few maps, but I didn’t really like the game, because for my 7-year-old brain, it was very hard.

2024 | Resolution

This year, one of my resolutions is to play games from my childhood, one of them being Poptropica. I was heartbroken to find out about most of the islands being removed, but happy they were a part of my childhood. I went from ragequitting to easily beating all of the remaining islands. I also enjoyed playing with my interesting character.

Well that’s my story. And if you have free time, just write your story. To see how to send in your story, click here.

This is Fearless Goose, over and out.
